Atlas is Gone: OpenAI's Latest Move

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
OpenAI is shutting down their Atlas browser nine months after it launched, and they're folding the features into ChatGPT, into a native app, and into a Chrome app. Meta is launching MuseSpark 1.1, and this is directly competing with Claude and GPT 5.6 on coding. Sunrun is gonna pay customers to host AI compute nodes in their home, so you can turn your home into an AI data center, and SK Hynix has raised $26.5 billion in the largest ever foreign IPO in the US market. Fiji Simone is stepping down as OpenAI's application chief because of chronic illness. The craziest thing just happened to me yesterday. If you listen to the podcast, you know that for the last couple months, I've been talking trash about a bunch of Chinese AI companies on my podcast, but they have finally proved me wrong. So yesterday, I discovered the incredibly innovative AI Box 365.com. So essentially, I was getting Claude to do SEO for me, asking it a bunch of different tips and strategies for AI Box.AI, my own startups, SEO. And they identified for me, it said, look, there's a red flag because there's another startup called AI Box 365.com. It does exactly what you do. So it's a company, they went and they registered our exact name. They added 365 They cloned our landing page and our pricing. It's like the same pricing. But the only difference is if you click the sign up button on their website, it doesn't sign you up right there. It actually redirects you to a completely different site called aimirrorhub.com.
And that one has a bunch of Chinese characters on it. I think the site is actually like translated from Chinese into English, just automatically on Google. How you know how Google does that. If you've seen Silicon Valley, you know that I basically just got Jin Yang where I mean, he pitches, you know, Uber, but it's Chinese Airbnb, but it's Chinese. We now have AI Box, but it's Chinese and everything else is the same, except that it now points to their website, just basically poaching off of our SEO. So how do we stack up against this incredibly innovative Chinese competitor? Well, I'm proud to say that even with the ability to go and clone our site, we still beat them on pricing. They are $9, we're $8.99, so we're one cent cheaper. They have 10 models on their platform. We have over 80 different models on our platform. And if you go and get an annual subscription from them, it's $109, where our cheapest annual subscription is $86.99.
So we're beating them on annual pricing, we're one cent cheaper on monthly, and we're not going to steal your data. In addition to the fact that we have an MCP, so you can take any of those image, audio, video models and stick them straight into Cloud or ChatGPT or any AI tool you use. You can get all the other AI tools built into it as well. So if you're interested, it's trusted by over 3000 teams. If you're looking for every AI model in one place, do not go to our Chinese knockoff competitor, go to AIBox.AI. I'll leave a link in the show notes. OpenAI is shutting down Atlas. This is a browser that they launched nine months ago, and they're moving all of the features from that into a Chrome extension. And they're also upgrading their ChatGPT desktop app.
I mean, this is basically what Claude already has with the Claude app that has all of their different Claude code and Claude co-work and even the chat all inside of one app. It looks like OpenAI is trying to consolidate and do that same thing. And I even saw Claude today launch the fact that they have a browser built into that. So I wouldn't be surprised if ChatGPT did something similar and had some sort of browser built in eventually to the ChatGPT app. They want to consolidate, they don't want multiple apps. And Claude also has a Chrome extension. So it looks like OpenAI is basically following Claude's playbook. It works really well. I use both the Chrome extension and the app on my desktop. And sometimes they trap back and forth and they use each other. But anyways, this is, I think, the way to go. And OpenAI is copying that. The new ChatGPT Chrome extension is going to compete directly with Google's Gemini side panel. And I think it's going to basically answer any questions that you have about a web, any specific web page. So I can look at the content on that page. It can handle multi-step tasks, you're not leaving the browser. The other cool thing that they do is they're building a cloud browser. So it's going to run on their own servers. And basically it lets ChatGPT agents complete tasks for you while your desktop app is staying responsive. There's a couple of different cool things here. One is like, I love that Claude Cowork, for example, uses the files on my computer.
